Slipping off road

[sgtsandman]

Seems I could have picked a better year Ranger to buy, last OHV, vacuum hubs, I guess they updated the Mazda 5 speed..

Oh well, I still love the thing and hope I get a lot of use out of it.

Each of the generations has their strong and weak points. Overall, you didn't do too badly. Just work with what you have an know where the problem areas are. They can be adapted for or over come.

Hey, just wanted to check in and report my manual hubs are working great, easy to turn. I cut circles in the stock hub caps for access. Earlier this week I had to climb my hill in the rain, soupy mud. Some slipping but made it up, and more importantly didn't slide coming down. I had the tires down to 22psi.

Thanks again for all the help.
